Reporting features improve operational efficiency while weekend support needs enhancement
Support is moderate and needs improvement, especially during weekends when technicians perform upgrades. During weekends, they need to provide more support to ensure a smooth transition. There is a call for ManageEngine OpManager to scale better in automation and AI functionality. Although the product stability is good, support enhancement is necessary to enable better planning for upgrades and maintenance activities.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"LiveAction LiveNX provides valuable real-time and historical network traffic visualization capabilities that help monitor and analyze network performance."
"On a scale of 1-10, I rate LiveAction LiveNX a nine."
"There are many positive attributes, and it's the best of the best."
"We don't have any complaints about the software. According to my team, it's a very good tool that's very intuitive."
"All in all, LiveAction LiveNX has become an indispensable tool for maintaining and improving our network's reliability and performance, ultimately supporting our organization's goal of providing timely and dependable delivery services."
"It is very good if you are a Cisco shop; it gives you reporting, latency, and bandwidth utilization for your applications, so you can do good capacity management planning."
"The intention and the idea of the filter is great, but it is far, far away from good and perfect."
"The product has a very good graphical interface."
"The most valuable feature of ManageEngine OpManager is the management of the virtual machine and the host machine."
"ManageEngine OpManager is user-friendly and easy to use. Additionally, useful for basic monitoring."
"The solution offers very good integration capabilities."
"It helps us a lot for monitoring our servers in one console, instead of going to individual servers."
"I liked Network Configuration Manager. They had some pretty decent features there, and they also had pretty good monitoring and alerts."
"Desktop central products feature dashboards that are neat and offer comprehensive information."
"ManageEngine OpManager has many beneficial features that bring value to enterprises, allowing them to manage from 1,000 to 10,000 devices in one console, with multiple add-ons enhancing its utility, such as Firewall Analyzer, which optimizes rules and displays all rules in the firewall."
"We run weekly and monthly reports to provide exceptions, and it's helped our organization remediate problems proactively."
 

Cons

"The product is weak in multi-tenancy. We have to install multiple instances of LiveAction, whereas we would like to build it once for our customers."
"My advice to others would be to run away from it. This is a slight exaggeration but this is more because the application is horrible, the stability is horrible, the performance is horrible and the support is horrible."
"Sometimes the solution does not register devices properly and that is a bug."
"They have some unique functionality but they need to create a more simplified UI."
"It is not as robust as other NPM solutions."
"It is not as robust as other NPM solutions. For instance, there is a problem while labeling specific applications. It works well with well-known applications, but when you have to put in new applications that are not very known and set them up with names, ports, URLs, or some protocols, it is not as intuitive."
"The tool crashes sometimes when we try to pull reports simultaneously."
"Maintenance is required for the system."
"The main drawback is there is less documentation available, both public documentation and partner-available documentation."
"I would like to see more capabilities and specific profiles built for the manufacturing sector."
"ManageEngine OpManager could improve by adding network device control capabilities."
"You cannot resolve 100 percent of the issues yourself. You would need to reach out to the support. It needs to be cheaper."
"The dashboard has some limitations and should be more user-friendly."
"For the implementation part, I am facing issues when configuring the business view; when I create the business view, I experience problems with the port interface and get confused about which interface is connected to which endpoint."
"The two views into the system are very good but could be extended to further customization to fit the need of end users in a variety of roles."
"The pricing of the solution is high. They should work to adjust the pricing model to see if they can help reduce costs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is fairly expensive compared to other products."
"We use the free version."
"It's very expensive."
"As far as cost, it was around six hundred thousand rands ($40,500) for the year, for the renewals. That's the total cost for a four thousand node system including support and maintenance."
"We had perpetual licenses. The cost was around 36,000 for OPManager, and then you'd have the yearly maintenance fee of 2,000 or 3,000."
"The solution is highly affordable"
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"ManageEngine OpManager has a three-tier licensing model."
"The price for ManageEngine OpManager is average."
"ManageEngine OpManager is cheaper than SolarWinds."
"The solution's pricing is very low compared to other products."
